USB-Based Classic Flight & Star Wars Shooter Build
(BuyStuff Racing Cabinet – Two Identical Machines)
Project Overview
I am requesting a portable USB LaunchBox / Big Box build containing classic arcade and console flight / space shooter games, designed to run on a BuyStuff racing cabinet without modifying the internal system.
The build must be fully configured for a flight stick, specifically a Thrustmaster T.16000M, and be safe to run alongside existing racing controls (wheel + pedals).
This is a classic / low-spec focused build — modern PC games or high-end flight simulators are not required or desired.
Target System (Compatibility Reference)
Operating System: Windows 10
CPU: Ryzen 4650GE (integrated graphics)
Cabinet: BuyStuff Arcades racing cabinet
Primary Flight Control: Thrustmaster T.16000M
Existing Controls: Racing wheel & pedals (must remain functional)
Build Requirements
1. Portable / USB-Based Build
LaunchBox / Big Box installed entirely on USB
Runs from USB inside Windows (Windows is not booted from USB)
No modification to internal BuyStuff system
All emulators, configs, playlists, and input mappings stored on USB
2. Control Configuration
Thrustmaster T.16000M configured as primary flight control:
X/Y axes → pitch / roll
Buttons → fire, missiles, view, etc.
Preferred: gas pedal mapped as analog thrust for flight games only
All mappings must be done at the emulator level
No global remapping tools
Racing wheel & pedal behavior must not be impacted
3. Game Scope (Classic / Low-Spec Only)
No modern PC games. No high GPU/CPU requirements.
Example Titles (or appropriate equivalents):
Star Wars
Sega Star Wars Arcade
Empire Strikes Back (Arcade)
Return of the Jedi (Arcade)
Star Wars Trilogy Arcade
Star Wars (Sega 32X)
Sega / Arcade Flight
After Burner
After Burner II
G-LOC Air Battle
Thunder Blade
Space Harrier
Galaxy Force II
Sky Target
Strike Fighter
Other Classic Flight / Space Shooters
Starblade
Xevious
Zaxxon
Silpheed
RayForce / Layer Section
Sin & Punishment (if appropriate to setup)
Final game list can be confirmed during the build.
4. Emulation
Use stable, appropriate emulators for:
Arcade platforms
Sega 32X
Console flight shooters as applicable
All selections must run smoothly on a Ryzen 4650GE with integrated graphics.
5. Frontend / Organization
Big Box “Flight / Space Shooters” playlist or category
Clean naming and metadata
Artwork and videos where available
No interference with existing BuyStuff categories or playlists
Second System Validation (Identical Hardware)
The final USB build must be tested and validated on two identical BuyStuff racing cabinets (same OS, CPU, and control hardware).
The build is created once
The second machine is used for verification and confirmation only
No separate custom build is required for the second system
Minor adjustments, if needed, may be made to confirm identical behavior
Testing & Verification
Before delivery:
Verify flight stick control in at least:
One Star Wars arcade title
One Sega flight shooter
Confirm smooth analog thrust operation
Confirm racing controls remain unaffected
Confirm USB operates stand-alone on Windows 10
Delivery
USB drive or USB image ready for use
Brief documentation covering:
How to launch the build
Control mappings
How to add additional flight titles later
Optional short remote test session preferred
Explicitly Out of Scope
No modern PC or Steam games
No high-spec flight simulators
No global remapping tools (JoyToKey, etc.)
No changes to BuyStuff internal system
Experience Level Requested
This project is intended for a LaunchBox / Big Box power user with experience in:
Arcade cabinets
Flight controls
Multi-device input mapping
Portable / reversible builds
Budget
Open to fair market pricing for a professional, tested build, including USB creation and validation on two identical systems.
